hi all been down garden /ghouse all toms cut down and in bits for compost bin only took 10 barrow loads out of midden snipped flowers of basil as I am going to take all leaves of for freezing not sure about stems ( can you use all of it or not)yesterday took all green toms of plants 1 last chutney have chillis left next week will blast it with power washer and jeyees disinfectant for later on bring in last carrots in g/house (sat for half/hour saving viola seeds) for next year ..I know they are cheep enough but I like to try things out ))watered garlic and flowers(winter pansies ) now for cuppa baths at 12 00 for a hour
Just stepped outside. Everything has been hit with the killing frost. So today I will find it easy to pull up all the remaining annuals. Hated doing it when they were still blooming so well but here one never knows if we will get a sudden heavy snow fall or deep freezing.
joyce21 its a dance love (no, only joking) This morning was grey and nasty, did the shopping, walked the dogs, watched some of that series about Britain, OH was watching about the Black Death, very cheeriy, he had a skin cancer removed yesterday, is off sick, feeling very sorry for himself, but not allowed to do anything, no bending because of the swelling and stiches. So, I thought I HAVE to get out there. Watered, pots, tidied another greenhouse, did some sorting out, clearing up, and what do you know THE SUN CAME OUT so although its 14d it feels gorgeous especially when you are moving about.

Heucheras, tender fuchsia, and Calendulata Primulas, in a pot have all had Provado watered on.
I meant Candelabra Primulas. . . . . . . no idea where Calendulata came from
Joyce , grew some Candelabra Primulas from seed this year , now in garden , looking forward to them flowering next year
Michael o/h says don't use basil stems
Just had lunch , having a little rest before back in garden
Cleaned g/h , took down shading & put up bubble rap
GWRS - I collected and sowed seed this year. So far, four seedlings have popped through the gravel so fingers crossed.

N Beach - very sorry to hear about your OH. Hope he feels a bit easier soon.
The weather is ideal just now for getting on with things outside.
